National Public Health Week 2016 focuses on several key issues that include building a nation of safe, healthy communities; helping all young people graduate from high school; building a relationship between increased economic mobility and better health; social justice & health; providing quality health care for everyone; and strengthening the public health infrastructure. These themes embody many of the efforts PHMC and its affiliates have been working on this past year.
“As one of the largest public health institutes in the country, PHMC is continuously focused on new ways to collaboratively work with and in the communities we serve to improve public health,” said Richard J. Cohen, President and CEO of PHMC. “We do this work each day through the strength of our partnerships, programs and affiliates.”
